最近，加拿大毫不掩饰地对中国电动车出手，突然宣布对来自中国的电动车征收100%的关税，同时还对中国进口的钢铝产品加征25%的关税。这一举措让 很多人感到困惑，显得完全没有任何理由。 这背后到底是什么原因呢？我们从美国的回应中找到了答案。美国对这一行为的支持似乎暗示了加拿大的立场，甚至让人怀疑加拿大是否只是跟着美国的步 伐走。那么，面对这样的局面，中国又该如何应对呢？ 8月26日，加拿大正式宣布了这一决定，对来自中国的电动汽车征收100%的关税，并且对钢铝产品也加大了税收。显然，这项带有"歧视"性质的政策违反了 《1994年GATT协议》的相关规定。更令人质疑的是，加拿大这样做的理由站不住脚，因为中国的电动汽车和钢铝产品并没有对加拿大市场造成严重冲击。 如今，自由贸易趋势日益明显，所谓的"贸易保护主义"显然不再适用。加拿大对此的所谓"预防"措施，看起来更像是没有实质依据的行动。 实际上，双方在未发生"贸易转移"之前应该遵循贸易规定，维护全球市场的稳定。而加拿大所提及的"贸易转移"概念，也显然被他们过度扩展并用来为自己 的行为"辩护"。事实上，这样的行为看起来更像是为了迎合美国的做法。 美国在此前就曾对中国的电动 ...

秋风乍起，北美寒意渐浓：加拿大外交棋局突变，主动示好中国寻求转机 近期，一场席卷北美的外交风波，犹如凛冽的秋风，让加拿大官员们倍感寒意。曾经紧随美国遏制中国 步伐的加拿大，如今却摇身一变，成为寻求与中国缓和关系的"求和派"代表。 今年九月，加拿大总理特鲁多主动释放出希望与中国进行会晤的信号，与此同时，外长阿南德也宣布了 即将访华的消息。此次访问的公开目的，是希望借此机会缓和两国间日趋紧张的关系，并就贸易、气候 变化等重要议题展开对话。国家领导人姿态放低，外长亲自出访，这种主动寻求和解的姿态，在过去实 属罕见，令外界清晰地感知到，加拿大正处于一种前所未有的焦灼状态。 昔日"印太战略"的代价：加征关税的连锁反应 为何加拿大突然转变了策略？其根源可追溯至过去一年两国间一系列的"恩怨纠葛"。为配合美国的"印 太战略"，加拿大对中国电动汽车施加了高达100%的关税，此举无异于将中国电动汽车拒之门外。此 外，加拿大还对中国钢铁征收25%的关税，而同期美国自产的钢铁却能轻易获得豁免。紧接着，加拿大 更是计划将中国电池、半导体、太阳能板等产品列入征税清单。尽管加拿大方面声称此举是为了"保护 本国产业安全"，但其背后，无疑是在 ...

编辑：倏禹 澳大利亚凭什么对中国稀土"开枪" 说起稀土这个话题，很多人可能不太了解其中的门道。简单来说，稀土就像工业领域的调料，没有它，什么高科技产品都做不出来。 54万吨澳大利亚油菜籽正在装船准备运往中国，这笔订单足以养活1.2万澳洲农户。 就在此时，一份机密会议纪要曝光，八国正密谋建立稀土联盟，澳大利亚赫然在列，且态度最为积极。 订单和对抗能否并存？澳方打的什么算盘？ 从手机里的芯片到新能源汽车的电池，从战斗机的导航系统到核潜艇的推进装置，哪一样都离不开稀土元素的参与。而在这个关键领域，中国掌握着全球 90%以上的稀土精炼产能。澳大利亚确实有稀土，储量还不少。 但问题是，美方能给的订单规模和中国市场比起来，根本不在一个量级。而且，美方的承诺能兑现多少，还得打个问号。加拿大就是个活生生的例子。 但有矿是一回事，能不能变成有用的产品又是另一回事。就好比有人给你一堆铁矿石，但你没有炼钢技术，这些矿石也就是一堆石头而已。澳方最大的稀土 企业莱纳斯公司，连个完整的生产线都搭不起来。 关键的分离设备有30%的零部件还得从中国进口，这叫什么"去中国化"？更让人哭笑不得的是，澳方声称要建立独立的稀土供应链。问题是，中国的 ...

还能不能好好一块玩耍了？近段时间，澳大利亚媒体又开始炒作中国稀土威胁论，这一次不光是喊话，还真动起手来了。 G7、欧盟再加澳大利亚，一共八个国家，悄悄拟定了一份对中国稀土出口的限制草案，准备集体出手，设下价格底线，还想征收所谓的碳税和稀土关税。 那么澳大利亚到底图什么？他们又凭什么认为，设个稀土价格下限就能制衡中国？ 今年4月，中国对中重稀土出口实施管制措施，包括钐、钆在内的多个关键矿种被列入出口审批清单。 当时外界还在猜测中国是否剑走偏锋，没想到只是几个月后，事情就一步步发展成一场全球资源的战略拉锯。 福特汽车、欧盟车厂、印度制造商等陆续感受到供应紧张，有的企业开始囤货，有的则被迫减产。 结果到了9月，G7牵头，欧盟响应，澳大利亚自告奋勇跟进，共同提出稀土定价、加税、限购、碳税四大措施，企图限制中国稀土出口影响力。 这套组合拳乍一听挺强硬，但仔细一看，根本站不住脚。 全球92%的稀土加工能力掌握在中国手中，一些稀有品类，欧盟甚至100%依赖中国供应。 澳大利亚虽然有矿，但没有完整的加工产业链，法德两国在内部会议上也表示不愿过早加征关税，怕打击本国企业。 而就在G7密谋之际，中国早已开始反制布局，9月25日， ...
